How Much Is 0.15 Teaspoons of Table Salt in Grams?
Converting 0.15 teaspoons of table salt to grams gives 0.90 g. One teaspoon of table salt weighs 6g, so 0.15 teaspoons is 0.15 × 6 = 0.9g. This conversion is specific to table salt because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.15 teaspoons of table salt
- 1 teaspoon of table salt = 6g
- 0.15 × 6 = 0.9g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If substituting table salt for kosher salt by volume, use roughly half the amount. For precision, convert by weight (grams) instead.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
